Actually, the FSF say that you should report GPL violations to the copyright owner... which happens to be Cyan. That's been doneHoikas wrote:... If I wanted to do that, I would have emailed the FSF without telling anyone. I understand they don't like GPL violations
The point I was trying to make earlier is this is clearly just an oversight. An honest mistake. It's not like Westinghouse deliberately trying to avoid releasing their source after including Buzz-Box in their HDTVs. I don't think there's any intent on Cyan's part to withhold the Build ID. It does need to be fixed, hence why I started this thread, but it doesn't make sense to inflate the issue into one of impending doom. What I was more concerned about was whether or not anything else had been overlooked (it appears that there is not).
